Overly hardcore, just for deep off-roaders

Used to seeing the urban highway version of the caravan, used to seeing a lot of the same layout, today we were at the Chengdu show site to actually shoot such a pickup truck caravan, different from the traditional sense of the big forehead pickup truck caravan or lift-top pickup truck, it uses the rear living area compartment design, living area and cockpit completely independent, can be said to be very hardcore off-road, the pursuit of large space and comfort of the players may not be a great deal of interest in it. But this vehicle seems to come exclusively for explorers waiting for deep off-roading, and it's the Earthstorm Expedition Truck.
The entire vehicle is built on the Ford ranger automatic four-wheel drive chassis, and there are two chassis available for the gasoline and diesel versions, with the gasoline version using a 2.3T EcoBoost gasoline engine, and the diesel version using a 2.3T Puma diesel engine, both of which are mated to a ZF 8AT automatic transmission. The gasoline version has a maximum power of 190kW and a peak torque of 450N-m, while the diesel version has a maximum power of 137kW and a peak torque of 490N-m. Driving-wise, it is equipped with EMOD intelligent all-wheel drive, off-road transparent chassis, TMS all-terrain management system, and seven driving modes to choose from, including standard, economy, sport, snow, mud, sand, and rock climbing. The model pictured in this article also includes a Vaughan 12,000-pound nylon rope winch and all-road AT off-road tires.
Vehicle size of 5880 × 2000 × 2100mm, the height of the top of the drop is only 2 meters out of the head, basically only slightly higher than a full-size SUV or a large MPV, plus the width of 2 meters than a full-size SUV or a large MPV width is not too much, which, on the one hand, can ensure that the car can go down to the garage without fear of the height restriction, but also will not encounter the problem of bad parking of the normal parking space, basically can Basically, it can be parked anywhere. In fact, on the other hand, the lower height of the low center of gravity to make this car drive more flexible, in fact, not only is the travel life, even daily commuting can theoretically cope with.

The appearance of no heavy forehead, compartments to ensure high strength at the same time more lightweight and compact, in the cross-country process can be less burdensome, a greater extent to play its cross-country potential. The exterior design adopts color collision design, beige with orange and black, very young and sporty. The top of the cab is designed with a top luggage rack platform, I personally climbed to the luggage rack in the process of shooting, its strength and the size of the luggage that can be loaded are still relatively secure.
The double-row pickup truck setup makes it able to reach the core load of 5 people for multi-person travel needs, with 200L storage box at the rear and multi-functional storage racks in the storage box, the overall look is practical and quality.
The car has four different configurations to choose from: Basic, Discovery, Crossing and Exploration, with the Exploration having the highest configuration, and the one pictured on site in this article is the Exploration with the highest configuration.

The most interesting design of this car is the main living area compartment can be motorized roof design, after the roof up to 2m, can fully meet the needs of the vast majority of people living. Part of the compartment is a 30mm high-strength sandwich insulation composite compartments, soft roof side of the 900D waterproof Oxford cloth tent, can be better insulation and wind. Of course, we have seen a lot of rising roof compartments, but the pickup truck caravan can be expanded on the side of the indeed not too much, and like this car's side expansion with a rising roof of the pickup truck caravan at least I see this is the first case, the car is equipped with a 12V single-cooled DC inverter air conditioning, 5000W diesel air heater, and so on.
Of course, when the need to sleep at night, this car also provides two beds, first of all, the lower queen-size bed, by the above said side expansion with the car aisle part of the bed combination, the electric side expansion open part can increase the length of the bed up to 750mm, the expanded size of 1300 x 2300mm, which is indeed a very novel design, theI personally feel that the length and width of the bunk sleeps two people or enough, of course, may be and a lot of road version of the wide-body light room car than the bed is not so spacious, but after all, this car's audience is not the pursuit of comfort, but the pursuit of broadening the boundaries of the cross-country players of life, so such a bunk size I feel that the field experience is still enough to use, but also can provide the necessary comfort as far as possible. In addition, the fuller state of the car's spelled out part of the car can actually be used as a single cross-bed, the size of 800 × 1800mm, sleeping a person under 1 meter 8 is no problem at all.
The upper part of the bunk for a single bunk, the size of 650 x 1450mm, in fact, more suitable for sleeping children or as more storage space, coupled with the lower bunk put together into a double bed, the car can also be enough to meet the 3-4 people sleeping and resting, the car is hardcore, but people need the needs of life can be fully satisfied.

For the circuit, it is equipped with 12V 400Ah Li-Iron Phosphate battery + 3kW charging and inverting integrated machine, and 420W solar energy. The water circuit has 100L fresh water tank with fully automatic water pump. The exterior of the cabin is equipped with a 6.6L electric water heater and shower system.
